Re: Any 70-200 2.8 not good for moon.

It is a small file size because there is essentially nothing in the image.

Now that you realize that 200mm is simply not long enough to take photos of the moon go and test the lens with targets closer to home.

The moon is more challenging to shoot properly than many think. Lots could have gone wrong with your photo.

Exactly !

JPG compression works well with an empty picture ! So the final weight is small.

For the lens, true, 200mm is not enough for the moon... if you want a close portrait of course !

Even my 600mm is too short.

Then take care of time value (TV) : if you shoot hand held, don't choose too slow values. If you're very stable, with a 600mm or higher, I would suggest at least 1/200 to 1/400s.

Don't shoot thru an open window of a heated room, you'll have blur due to air turbulensces .
